This is where fluency meets opportunity — and your voice drives innovation.

Clear Communication. Global Teams. Real Impact.

In tech, your ideas are only as powerful as your ability to communicate them. These lessons help you speak up with confidence in meetings, pitch solutions clearly, and collaborate with global teams — without second-guessing your English.

You’ll practice with real IT scenarios, from status updates to executive briefings and client demos. And you won’t do it alone — you’ll grow alongside fellow professionals working in cloud computing, cybersecurity, software development, and more.

English That Works in Tech

Program Methodology

This course helps IT professionals at a B1–B2 level (IELTS 5.5–6.5) speak more clearly and confidently in global workplaces. You’ll practice using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) — a strategy used in FAANG and top tech interviews — to answer questions, describe your work, and explain ideas step by step.

Three course tiers: Jobseeker, Leadership, and Executive.

The tech world moves fast — and your communication has to keep up. Whether you’re searching for your first IT job, leading projects for a global team, or presenting at the executive level, we have a program designed for your growth.
Now, explore our three programs for IT professionals — each crafted to boost your language and help you stand out at work.

Finally — English That Works in Real IT Jobs.

In this course, you’ll learn how to:

✔ Greet users and manage support calls professionally
✔ Describe technical issues in simple, clear language
✔ Ask the right questions using the 5Ws + STAR method
✔ Explain steps and give polite, easy-to-follow instructions
✔ Handle frustrated users with calm, confident English
✔ Escalate tickets, report issues, and give status updates
✔ Speak up in meetings and deliver daily stand-ups
✔ Communicate clearly with non-technical coworkers

These are the real skills you'll use every day — and we’ll practice each one together.

You already have the skills — now you'll have the words to show it.
